[Q] Wi-fi indicator not showing data transmission - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone,
Today I flashed the newer I9100XWLP8_I9100XSALP4 (coming from the old LPQ firmware) FW, doing a factory reset/wipe and cache wipe.
I did this with the hope the wi-fi not working / not coming up from sleep problems would go away, and although I haven't tested more extensively, it seems they have.
However, I am noticing now that the wi-fi icon is not showing activity when I know I'm using the Internet (normally you see the down/up arrows blink). Any ideas why? I know it's not a live or dead situation, but I'm curious as to why this happens. It is also not cool when you have internet issues and you don't know if you are actually transmitting or not (useful to detect your modem is down for example).
The data icon does not seem to be affected by this problem as when I turn off the wi-fi, and the data icon appears, I can see the download/upload arrows flashing showing data transmission.
Thanks for your help

Data connection goes grey when screen off on 3g

Currently using Slimics 3.8 with fluxxi kernel
First of all I know that grey means not connected to google servers so the problem is this:
When the screen is off and idle(no data transfer activity) for 10-15mins it will lose connection to google servers without fail despite full 3g signal bars, resulting in push messages not being recieved until I wake the phone and the connection turns blue again.
And this only happens on 3G/H+, wifi has no such problems
Anyone faced the same problem and have a solution for this? Have tried different modems, kernels, 3G only etc.

Check under Slim settings to confirm data management when screen is off is not enabled (under power)

data connection broke despite full bars

hey there,
i am on cm 9.1.0 now. i was using nightlys before and before that the latest nightlies of cm 7. since the may- or june-nightlies i experienced some problems with my data connection (3g or H). despite full and blue bars in the statusbar with an 3g or H, sometimes i did not have any connection. i did not have those problems with wifi. and sometimes, when i was outside and surfing, the connection broke off from one page to the other. in some cases entering flightmode and turning it off again helped. but not always...
could it be that i need another modem-fw?
how would i do that?
where do i find my current version?
tyvm!!
ps: see my settings:

JB broke my wifi

I've tried searching and haven't found anyone with the same issue as I.
Jellybean broke my wifi, I had no connection issues before whatsoever.
Now, it still shows it's connected to the network with full strength but when I go to use the internet or any apps, it says there is no network connection, webpage unavailable, no autosync, etc. Things are fine when I go back to 3G and nothing has changed on my phone but the JB update. I've turned Sprint Optimizer off and on, deleted and manually readded all the wifi networks, and am not sure what else to do besides hard reset. Any ideas? Also, I am not rooted.

have you done a complete network reboot (cable modem and wifi router) when having the crappy sprint connection optimizer off?
if this helps you feel free to hit the thanks button
Thanks for the help! I found the answer in another thread... Seems JB automatically turns on "DLNA auto-ip" for some people. The fix that worked for me was Settings>Wifi>Menu>Advanced and uncheck "DLNA auto-ip" at the bottom.

Optimus L9 Wi-Fi problem .

I have an LG Optimus L9 P765 (Indian variant) with Stock ROM v10d on it.
WiFi on my set seems to be misbehaving. It connects to my network and works fine for sometime, but when I leave it unused for about say 5 minutes the mobile does not connects with my WiFi network.
In notification bar it shows that it is connected but actually there is no data transfer occurring.
Its very irritating as I don't get instant emails, whatsapp chats etc.
Is anybody else facing the same problem ? Please suggest any remedy for this problem.
Yeah, same problem here.
I've got an Indian P765 with V10d stock ROM as well. If left idle for sometime, the wi-fi seems to be connected but no data transfer occurs.
The small upward pointing triangle is shown on the wi-fi icon in the notification area, but the data transfer LED of the wi-fi modem doesn't blink, and so no webpage loads.
But if the wi-fi is being used continously, the problem doesn't occur.
Looking forward to a solution, thanks.
Edit: Reduced the Beacon Interval of the Wi-Fi modem to 100ms. The data connection is maintained now.
Problem solved. The phone's working fine afterall.
Before that happens go into wifi settings press the menu button hot advanced and turn the wifi sleeping policy off that is all that I can suggest

Beacon Interval of my WiFi modem is already 100ms.
Problem still persists.
Any solution anybody.
The only solution for now is to change WiFi sleep policy to Never instead of Always in WiFi settings.
But that turns on Mobile data or 3G (which ever you have) which is more battery consuming.
And there's no point of keeping a smartphone offline by disabling either WiFi or Mobile data.
P769BK has a different wifi issue. All 6 of mine have had this same issue.
Enable wifi and use if for a few hours.If wifi router looses internet access and you try to download an MMS it fails.
Disable wifi and try downloading MMS via cellular network it fails. Airplane mode toggle does not work.
A reboot is required to fix this. Very irritating when connected to a wifi network that has a bad connection.
Don't even get me started with wifi-calling. It just plain sucks on 4.x ROMs.
I use WidgetSoid which gives WIFI and 3G icon (also called power switches) on Home Screen and reconnecting is just a HALF SECOND deal for me. Its even quickly re-connectable from WiFi PowerSwitch in Notification Panel.
By the way, I did not notice this issue on my P765 (india) L9. Works well with Vodafone Mumbai 3G, and WiFi always connected even after idle time upto 2 hours mostly at home. Like they always say, results may vary.
Problem: WiFi is not useable
Hey Guys,
i've got a huge problem. I can't switch my WiFi on. The problem exists since a few months and I've tried to fix that by myself but my knowledge about programming is quite small. Please help me. WiFi is one of the most important functions. Is sendng it to LG-Support the only way to get that fixed?
Pls Pls Pls HELP ME!

hi friend,
You already managed to solve your problem?. I have a similar problem, did the bootload and installed cyanongenmod 10.2 for P760 and everything worked perfectly, after I turn off my smartphone realized I was not connecting the wifi and even tapping the power button it does not turn on, put your smartphone in order factory original and still the problem continues.
Can someone help me?

[Q] No data connection after leaving WiFi range

Hello everybody,
I hope I can get my problem across:
I'm running my S2 on stock Android 4.04, not rooted.
After switching the phone on, I have access to the internet, and this is confirmed by the Edge/UMTS symbols witht the up/down arrows on the top of the screen.
As soon as I enter an area with a known WiFi connection (e.g. home ) the connection automatically switches over to WiFi.
Now for the problem:
After leaving home, the Edge/UMTS connection is not restored, I have to enter and leave flight mode automatically to get it back.
I had formerly installed Llama, but have removed it since, because I thought the problem was related to the program - behaviour has not changed.
I'd like the phone to switch automatically to the best available data connection.
Thanks
Robert

I'm having the same problem with an LG Optimus F6. Did you ever get this resolved with your phone?
